Abstract: Driving style has a significant effect on the operating economy of fuel cell buses (FCBs). To reduce hydrogen consumption and prolong the fuel cell life of FCBs, this paper proposes an online adaptive equivalent consumption minimum strategy (A-ECMS) based on driving style recognition. Firstly, driving data from various drivers is collected, and a standard driving cycle is created. Neural networks are then used to identify driving conditions, and three fuzzy logic recognizers are developed to identify driving styles for different driving conditions. The driving style factor is associated with the equivalent factor using an optimization algorithm that incorporates hydrogen consumption cost and fuel cell degradation cost into the objective function. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed A-ECMS can reduce equivalent hydrogen consumption, prolong fuel cell life, and result in a 6.2% reduction in total operating cost compared to the traditional method.
